Solar Panel Cleaning in Camarillo
Solar Panel Cleaning for Your Home or Business
Our solar panel cleaning service covers Camarillo homes and businesses, from rooftop systems to carport and ground-mount arrays. The work is done with deionized water at low pressure, soft brushes and non-abrasive tools, never harsh chemicals or anything that strains the glass or the seals. One visit covers most systems, and the inverter gets a final look on our way out. Family-owned since 1978.
- Yearly at MinimumOnce a year is our minimum for panel cleaning, with shorter intervals when a freeway, open field or recent fire sits nearby.
- Ground Array BrushOn ground arrays, the crew also cuts back any brush or growth shading the panels and lowering their output.
- Tile Roof CareOn Spanish tile roofs, the crew steps softly and uses roof-safe anchors while working around the panels.
Researchers estimate dirt and dust on solar panels cost the equivalent of 3% to 4% of the world’s solar energy production in 2018.

On the roof and below it
These are the other exterior jobs. Each surface needs a different method, and we do all of them.
Leaves and dust that land on an array tend to wash down into the gutters at the eaves. For gutter cleaning, the crew works through gutters and downspouts using a leaf blower and scoop, plus a gentle flush when a clog will not budge, then bags the debris and hauls it off. Having both done around the same time leaves the roof clear from the panels down to the downspouts.
Windows and panels are both glass, but they are cleaned differently. Window cleaning is done inside and out by technicians who passed our in-house training and tests, with frames and screens included. Pressure washing is kept off the panels entirely and saved for driveways, patios, walkways and building walls, where the crew tunes pressure and detergent to whatever it is washing, so nothing gets etched.

Why Panels Get Dirty
Why Panels Lose Output Between Rains
A panel makes power from the light that reaches its cells, so anything sitting on the glass costs you some of it. Dust settles in a film, pollen coats the glass in spring, birds leave droppings that shade part of a panel, and in a fire year ash comes down on everything. When a winter passes with little rain, all of that stays where it landed.
Dust has a real effect on how much energy a panel produces over time, according to a study in the journal Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews. Our advice for Camarillo systems is one cleaning a year as the floor, with an earlier visit for arrays close to open fields, a freeway or a recent burn.

The Kelly Cleaning team was outstanding! Our tenants with young children just vacated last week and it was left in rough condition! This wonderful team of 9 spent two days returning my property to near perfect condition.
Edgar and Randy did an amazing job! The carpet was in a rental and was a mess. We thought we would TRY cleaning it but didn't think it could come clean. They took their time and made it like new!

How much does solar panel cleaning cost in Camarillo?

What cleaning schedule suits a solar array?
For a Camarillo array, one visit a year is the floor. Arrays close to open fields, the freeway or ground that burned recently tend to need one earlier.
Will a cleaning affect the warranty on my system?
Our crews use low-pressure water and soft brushes that protect the glass and the seals, so the cleaning does not put the warranty at risk. Where the paperwork spells out how panels must be cleaned, our crew works to those terms.
Is pressure washing ever used on panels?
No. High pressure can damage the seals, so panels get low pressure, soft brushes and deionized water. Our pressure washing crews work on concrete, walls and equipment instead.
Can you clean carport and flat-roof arrays at businesses?
Yes. Arrays on carports and flat commercial roofs are part of what we clean for Camarillo businesses, and flat-roof panels get edge-to-edge passes because dust pools there.
How long does a solar cleaning take in Camarillo?
A typical Camarillo system is finished in one trip, and the crew reads the inverter display before heading out.
Do you clean solar panels in the rest of Ventura County too?
Yes. Camarillo is part of a service area that covers all of Ventura County plus Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria, and every quote is free.
